Basics

The Protocols module (also known as SOPs, procedures, or methods) is where you create and manage standardized workflows that support reproducible science.

• What You Can Do
• Create, share, and adapt protocols
• Build new protocols from scratch or adapt existing ones.
• Share them with your team to ensure everyone follows the same validated steps.

Versioning for full traceability

• Every update creates a new version, preserving previous iterations.
• This ensures transparency, reproducibility, and compliance with good documentation practices.

Smart Features to Reduce Errors

• Automatic calculations
• Let the system handle calculations such as dilutions, reagent volumes, or scaling factors.
• Dynamic fields: Add interactive fields that update automatically based on user input.
• Minimization of human error: Built‑in logic and structured steps help standardize procedures and reduce mistakes in the lab.

Best Practice Tip
Use the Protocols module to maintain validated, version‑controlled SOPs. Link them directly to your Journal entries to ensure consistent execution across experiments.
